Sony’s 4K Action Cam is very good camcorder that delivers good-looking picture quality and smooth videos, thanks to its high-bitrate capability and image stabilization. But with every camera that can shoot 4K, we ask the same question: Do you need it...

There is, though, also a dedicated computer-based editing suite, called Sony Action Cam Movie Creator. But while it has some advanced features such as the ability to import four different clips and show them in splitscreen – useful for if you’ve got a...

There are other little annoyances, too, such as its fiddly menu system, and in my book this is enough for the Hero4 Black to pull ahead, remaining my 4K action cam of choice. However, if you favour flexibility and really want the GPS data, then the...

Excellent video capture capacity ; Great photo stills from 4K video ; Flexible shooting options ; Robust and tough design with waterproof case ; 1:1 pixel readout for superior 4K video quality

A bit clumsy in the body design ; Slightly too large for an action camera ; XAVC S format for 4K can be expensive

Overall, we’d probably vote in favor of the GoPro Hero 4 action camera as far as serious action/POV shooting is concerned (particularly with 4K UHD resolution). However, the Sony FDR-X1000V/W is a great and very robust 4K POV camera on its own and many...

The X1000V houses a ton of useful features for action lovers, plus it can record at 4K 100Mbps in Sony's efficient XAVC S codec. There's built-in image stabilization and the camera offers exposure compensation and white balance control. To top it all...

Menu response times when tweaking settings on the camera can be slow, while the lens casing gets smeary and droplets clings to the front when you shoot in and out of the water

Sony's X1000V offers power and performance in a package that goes head-to-head with the GoPro.

Splash-proof without a housing; easy operation; image stabilization; GPS

Waterproof housing not rated for depths as low as the competition; colors can appear oversaturated; fewer resolution/frame rate options than the competition

Sony has built an enviable action camera in the X1000V. For our money, it’s better designed than the Hero4 and has features, such as GPS, that the Hero4 lacks. That said, it’s not offering comparable image quality and is missing the frame rate,...
